Wireless-testing is a kernel about wireless card or something related, but why
there is a file named usb.c? Is it related to usb? Hope who can answer it to me.
Thank you so much.

Wireless-testing is a complete tree, thus it has every file that is found in the
mainline tree. There are a number of files named usb.c. To know what it does,
you would need to tell what path it is in. In general, a file named usb.c would
contain the interface between a device and the USB system.
The differences between wireless-testing and mainline are related to the
development. New material comes through wireless-testing and goes through
several trees before if is merged into mainline. Usually wireless-testing is
about 1 version newer than mainline.

That contains some of the code for dealing with USB RTLWifi devices.

That file contains the USB-specific low-level routines for the driver used by
the RTL8188CU devices built by Realtek. If you want to know what that file does,
read the comments.

Thank you so much for the reply. I am so appreciated.
I am still a little confused. Would you please set an example for
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/usb.c ?
